The way to do it is to get a hardware router with a build-in modem (like the Airport Extreme with the build-in modem) or get a software router (an application) that resides on your G3 and have your 460 connect to the internet through that. If you need permenant dial-up connection, you can get one of those freebie software that send out ping every so often to keep the line up.
